ITEM 3-B. >> SO WE HAVE A SARA CHATMAN HERE TO GIVE A BRIEF UPDATE ON THE WORK OF THE COMMISSION.

>> I AM CHAIR OF THE ARTS AND BEAUTIFICATION COMMISSION.

THIS IS MY OPPORTUNITY TO UPDATE YOU.

I HAVE THREE MAJOR UPDATES AND THEN A LEADERSHIP CONTINUITY ANNOUNCEMENT TO MAKE. I'M HAPPY TO TAKE QUESTIONS AS YOU HAVE THEM OR JUMP IN AT THE END.

YOU HEARD ME TALK BEFORE THAT WE HAVE TRIED TO INSTITUTE A DATA DRIVEN APPROPRIATE TO DO FEWER ACTIVITIES BUT MAKE THEM HIGHER IMPACT AND WE WILL MEASURE THOSE AND WE WILL SEE HOW THAT WORKS. AND THAT HAS BEEN TIP-AFIED BY OUR SHARK TANK ACTIVITY AND WE DID THAT AGAIN THIS YEAR AND SO WE ARE REALLY EXCITED ABOUT WHAT 2027 IS GOING TO BE BRINGING FOR US. WITH WILL CONTINUE WITH THE ART SHOW, REALLY WAS A MAJOR IMPROVEMENT.

WE WILL SEE A FEW MORE. ARTS AND BEAUTIFICATION AWARDS FOR THE LAWN BOUGHT FIECATION AWARDS WE WILL CONTINUE WITH THOSE. WE WILL HAVE ONE MAJOR IMPROVEMENT. THE LAWN IMPROVEMENT, THE SIGNS HAD THE Q.R. CODE THIS YEAR THAT GOT US NOMINATION.

FOR NEXT YEAR WE HOPE TO SEE THE APARTMENT COMPLEXES.

MAYBE HAVE PORCH BEAUTIFICATION AS PART OF THAT.

EACH TIME WE ARE TRYING TO IMPROVE ONE THING.

ADDITIONALLY WE ARE LOOKING AT SOME HIGH MUNICIPALITY IMPACTING OPPORTUNITIES. WE ARE GETTING INVOLVED WITH THE BRADFORD PEAR REMOVE PROJECT.

WE ARE TAKING THAT ON FOR ADVOCACY.

HOPING WE CAN PROMOTE NATIVE PLANT REPLACE HAMILTONS, OUR CITIZENS CAN GET INVOLVED AND I CAN MAKE SURE YOU ALL GET FEWER ANGRY PHONE CALLS ABOUT WHERE A MY TREES GOING. WE ARE ALSO REFINING OUR PUBLIC ART PLANS. THAT IS ANNOUNCEMENT NUMBER TWO. WE HAVE HAD FOR THE LAST WITH THE YEARS YOU CAN A PUBLIC ART PROCESS GOING ON.

WE HAVE HAD A FIRM THAT WE HAVE CONTRACTED WITH WHO IS HELPING US DO THIS. WE HAVE A THEME.

IT WOULD BE CELEBRATING A WELL-KNOWN ATHLETE AND WE HAD A LOCATION. AS WE WERE JUST ABOUT TO MOVE FORWARD, OUR FABULOUS CITY ATTORNEY SUGGESTED IN ORDER TO MAKE SURE THERE WAS NO QUESTION EVERY BUSINESS MAD AN OPPORTUNITY TO BE A LOCATION FOR PUBLIC ART IT WAS SUGGEST WED GO BECOME AND OPEN UP AND PUBLIC COMMENT PERIOD.

SO SARAH FORSOUTH WILL BE CREATING THAT ON THE WEBSITE,

[00:10:02]

BUT I SAID WE LIKE TO PLAN AHEAD.

WE ARE WORKING HARD. WHAT I'M ABOUT TO BE SHARE WITH YOU IS FOR CHRISTMAS 2027. WE ARE WORKING ON PUBLIC ART FOR THE HOLIDAYS IN 2027 AND WE ARE INSPIRED BY OUR NEW COMMISSION MEMBER JOE NASARA. IO HAS A PASSION FOR MUNICIPAL LED HOLIDAY ART PROJECTS LIKE WHAT YOU HAVE SEEN STUBELLEVILLE OHIO. THE NUT CRACKING WALK.

THE PROJECT HAS BEEN A REVENUE AND TOURISM GENERATING ANNUAL EVENT. AND WE ARE INSPIRED BY THIS AND WE ARE RIGHT NOW GETTING SOME BIDS THAT WE WILL PUT BEFORE OUR PARKS AND RECK TEAM TO MAKE SURE FOR A GINGERBREAD WALK HERE IN HUBER HEIGHTS. GIANT GINGER BREADS AND WORKING ON GETTING QUOTES, WORKING ON BUILDING EXCITEMENT.

WE PLAN TO HAVE A BOOTH AT THE TREE LIGHTING AND GIVE SOME OPINIONS AND INPUT. BUT THIS IS OUR HOPE FOR 2027.

AND THAT IS ALL A PART OF THAT SHARP TANK IDEATION PROCESS WHERE WE ARE ABLE TO GET IN ADVANCE, AND REALLY PUT THE ADVANCE WORK IN. AND WE HOPE LONG-TERM THIS WILL BE REVENUE GENERATING AND SELF-SUPPORTING THROUGH PUBLIC AND BUSINESS SPONSORSHIPS AND PURCHASING OF THIS POPULAR GINGERBREAD. UNION YOU EVER SAW THE -- I DON'T KNOW IF YOU EVER SAW THE FLYING PIGS IN CINCINNATI? THAT KIND OF OPPORTUNITY MAY EXIST.

THIS IS REAL PRELIMINARY. I'M SURE YOU WILL HAVE QUESTIONS BUT WE ARE IN THE PROCESS AND SARAH FORCYTHE IS OVERSEEING THAT. THE LAST ANNOUNCEMENT I HAVE TO SHARE IS THAT THE GOOD NEWS IS WE ARE FULLY STAFFED AS A

COMMISSION. >> GOOD JOB.

>> WE ARE EXCITED ABOUT THAT. WE HAVE BEEN ABLE TO RETAIN EVERY NEW MEMBER THAT STARTED WITH US WITH AND IT IS BECAUSE OF OUR FOCUS ON DOING FEWER THINGS BUT MAKING IT HIGHER IMPACT. THINKING CREATIVELY AND REALLY TRYING TO BRING EVERYONE'S PRECIOUS VOLUNTEER HOURS TO THE HIGHEST FRUITION. THE COMMISSION IS STRONG, IT IS ENERGIZED AND WELL POSITIONED FOR THE FUTURE.

TO THAT END I HAVE SHARED WITH THE COMMISSION, AND I WILL SHARE WITH YOU ALL THIS WILL BE MY LAST BIANNUAL UPDATE TO YOU ALL BECAUSE IN DECEMBER WE WILL BE VOTING ON A NEW CHAIR.

I BELIEVE IT IS THE MOST IMPORTANT GIFT THAT LEADERSHIP CAN GIVE. IS TO MISSISSAUGA SOMETHING SUSTAINABLE AND SYSTEMIC. AND IN ORDER TO DO THAT, HAVE CARED FOR TWO YEARS. I'M NOT GOING ANYWHERE.

I WILL STAY ON THE COMMISSION BUT IT IS TIME TO BRING A NEW CHAIR FORWARD SO SOMEONE ELSE CAN BE TRAINED AND WE CAN BEGIN TO SEE THIS GOING FORWARD, THIS NEW WAY OF THINKING TO AND NEW PROCESS. I WILL STILL BE AN ACTIVE MEMBER ON THE COMMISSION AND IT SHOULD BE A SEAMLESS HAND OFF.

I WANT TO THANK YOU FOR YOUR SUPPORT OF THE COMMISSION.

TONY FOR ALWAYS SENDING US GREAT CANDIDATE AND HELPING ME OUT THROUGH THE PROCESS. I WANT TO THANK YOU FOR YOUR WELCOME, FOR THE CITY MANAGER EK FOR HAVING LUNCHES WITH ME AND HELPING MAKE SURE THAT WE STAY IN LOCKSTEP WITH THE VISION OF THE COMMITTEE. THAT IS SOMETHING THAT OUR COMMISSION HAS WORKED REALLY HARD ON AND I WANT TO U SAW THANK YOU FOR YOUR SUPPORT. PLEA TAKE QUESTIONS IF YOU HAVE

THEM. >> HAS IT BEEN TWO YEARS? SEEMS LIKE THAT HAS FLOWN BY. JOB WELL DONE.

JUST SAY THAT NOW. IF THIS WILL BE LAST TIME WE WILL SEE YOU UP HERE. I THINK THERE HAS BEEN CLEAR ENERGY THAT HAS BEEN INJECTED INTO THE COMMISSION AND JUST REAL PLEASED WITH WHAT'S HAPPENED AND THE THINGS I'M HEARING ABOUT GOING FORWARD, IT'S ENOUGH TO GET ALL OF US EXCITED WHAT THE POTENTIAL IS HERE.

AND JUST CAN'T WAIT TO SEE WHAT HAPPENS.

SO THANK YOU SO MUCH. AGAIN, JOB WELL DONE.

[00:15:02]

ABSOLUTELY. >> YES,

>> SARAH, I WANT TO SAY THANK YOU.

THIS WAS MY VISION IN '18 THAT NEVER QUITE HAPPENED SO THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU. I REALLY APPRECIATE YOU.

THE ONE THING I WANT TO SAY IS SOME TIME I -- MY HUSBAND FOUND AN ARTIST THAT DOES SCULPT COWE CO SURES -- SU SURES -- SCULPT CURES OUT OF BRICK.

WHEN WE REDO THOMAS CLAUDE PARK OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT, THAT

WOULD TIE INTO THE HUBER -- >> PLEASE FORWARD ME THAT ARTIST'S CONTACT. WE ARE COMMITTED TO CHOICE FULFIL PUBLIC ART OPPORTUNITIES AND SO HAVING THOSE IN OUR

BECOME POCKET IS A GREAT IDEA. >> THANK YOU FOR EVERYTHING.

>> ABSOLUTELY. >> ANYONE ELSE.

>> THANK YOU. MAYOR.

AWESOME PRESENTATION. I LOVE THE VISION.

THINK THE EXCITEMENT HAS GOT ALL OF US HERE ON COUNCIL GOING ON ABOUT IT. WHAT CAN COUNCIL DO FOR YOU?

WHAT DO YOU NEED FROM US? >> NUMBER ONE IS WHEN WE HAVE A FULL PROPOSAL TO SARAH FOR OUR GINGERBREAD WALK, IS BE BRUTALLY SUPPORTIVE. REALLY HELP US REFINE THIS BECAUSE WE DON'T WANT TO DO A FUN LITTLE GINGERBREAD WOK ONE YEAR AND THESE THINGS SIT IN THE CLOSET.

IF WE TAKE THIS PROJECT ON WE WANT TO BE THE NEXT STUBENVILLE. WE WANT THIS TO BE A LEGACY OPPORTUNITY. RIP THIS APART, BE HONEST WHEN WE HAVE THAT PREPARED. THE OTHER IS YOUR NETWORK OF SHARING WITH YOUR WARDS, WITH YOUR CONSTITUENTS, WHEN THE WEB FORUM IS AVAILABLE FOR, HEY WAIT TO BE PART OF PUBLIC ART, IF YOU WOULD SHARE THAT WITH YOUR NETWORK THAT WOULD BE WILL

HELPFUL. >> AWESOME.

>> GREAT PRESENTATION. THANK YOU.

>> ABSOLUTELY. >> ANYONE ELSE? THANKS SO MUCH. GOOD TO SEE YOU AGAIN.

>> ANY QUESTIONS FOR MIKE IN OBJECTIONS?

[ Mowing/Landscaping Maintenance Agreement Renewal]

AFTER SPEAKING WITH TONY TODAY, THERE IS GRAMMATICAL THINGS WE HAD TO WORK OUT BEFORE THE NEXT FINAL LEGISLATION.

>> I GOT YOUR E-MAIL. ONE YEAR EXTENSION AND I WILL INCORPORATE THAT BY REFERENCE INTO THE LEGISLATION ON MONDAY.

>> OK. WE ARE GOOD.

>> YEAH. JUST A RENEWAL FOR THE NEXT WITH THE YEARS. I BELIEVE SOME STAFF DESIRE AND COUNCILS, GOING IN DIFFERENT DR DIRECTION. TAKING THE TWO YEAR SO WE ARE LOCKED IN THE SAME PRICING. FIGURE OUT WHICH DIRECTION WE

WILL GO IN MOVING FORWARD. >> OK.

FAIR ENOUGH. ANY QUESTIONS?

KATE? >> MIKE, THERE A CLAUSE ABOUT

FUEL RATES. >> NO.

>> OK, GREAT. THANK YOU.

>> THIS CONTRACT WILL -- IT HAS BEEN OFFICIAL TO US.

IT LOCK US IN WITH THE CURRENT RATES FOR THOSE TYPE OF THINGS WE MAY INCUR. IF WE WERE TO BID RIGHT NOW WE PROBABLY DO THE SAME WAY AS IN THE PAST FOR THE NEXT THREE, FOUR YEAR AND THE CONTRACT PRICES MAY LOOK DIFFERENT.

>> GREAT THANK YOU. THANK YOU, MAYOR.

>> ISSOME SOMETHING WE START LOOKING FOR, FOR IN-HOUSE? LAWN SERVICE? OK.

>> WE ARE ALREADY EXPLORING THAT OPTION.

THAT IS WHY WE ARE GOING WITH THE TWO YEAR EXTENSION TO LOOK AT BUYING EQUIPMENT, PERSONAL, YOU KNOW, ADDING PERSONAL TO

[00:20:03]

TO GO THIS DIRECTION. >> YEAH.

THAT IS ALL I HAVE. THANKS.

>> I THINK ONE OF THE THINGS -- PROBABLY DOESN'T TAKE A ROCKET SCIENTISTS TO FIGURE THIS OUT. NOW THAT WE GOT THE FEW PUBLIC WORKS FACILITY WE ARE ABLE TO HIRE ENOUGH FEEL BRING THIS IN HOUSE. BEFORE, EVEN IF THAT WOULD HAVE FINANCIALLY MADE SENSE, WE WOULDN'T HAVE HAD ROMOM.

THIS IS A SMART ROOM TO LOOK AT.

>> MIKE AND I DISCUSSED THIS. WHEN I GOT APPOINTED THEY WERE BUSTING AT THE SEAMS. WE HAVE TAKEN TIME HERE AND WE LOOK AT CHART FOR PUBLIC WORKS TO MAKE THAT WORK AND UTILIZE

THE RESOURCES BETTER. >> PERFECT.

GOOD TO HEAR. ANY QUESTIONS?

[ Supplemental Appropriations]

WE WILL MOVE THAT ON. NEXT IS ITEM 3-E.

>> JIM? >> GOOD EVENING.

I HAVE WHAT APPEARS TO BE LARGE REQUEST TO CHANGE THE BUDGET BUT I WILL EXPLAIN THAT IN MELT.

THE TWO SMALLER ITEMS TO ARE $500 FOR THE POLICE FUND.

THIS IS MATCHING A DONATION GIVEN TO THE POLICE DEPARTMENT FOR USE ON THE SAFETY TOWN SUPPLIES.

AND SO WHENEVER WE GET A DONATION LIKE THAT I COME TO YOU AND SAY WE WOULD LIKE TO INCREASE THE BUDGET SO THEY CAN SPEND IN THAT AREA AND $19 ARC 200 ALSO FOR THE POLICE FUND FOR THE PURCHASE OF EIGHT A.E.D. UNITS PLACED IN POLICE CRUISERS SO THEY WOULD BE USED ON THE ROAD.

WHEN NECESSARY. AND THEN THE LIBERAL AMOUNT OF $1,110,840 IS SIMPLY AS YOU KNOW, MONDAY I WOULD HOPE YOU PASS ALL OF THE DEBT ISSUES AND WHEN WE SET UP THE ORIGINAL 2026 BUDGET, WE HAD ANTICIPATED TAKING ALL THE DEBT THAT WAS PREVIOUS NOTES FROM 25 IN JUNE, GOING TO GO LONG-TERM WITH THAT. WELL, THE RATES -- INTEREST RATES WERE NOT GOOD AT THAT TIME SO WE SAID WE WILL ISSUE JUST SHORT TERM NOTICE TO GET US TO NOVEMBER AND NOVEMBER WE WILL GO LONG-TERM. SO BY DOING THAT, WE HAVE TO INCREASE THE BUDGET TO ISSUE THOSE NOTES AGAIN.

BUT BY ISSUING NOTES WE GOT THE REVENUE FOR THAT.

SO IT'S INCREASING THE EXPENSES BY 101 MILLION AND INCREASING THE REVENUE BY 101 MILLION. IT COMES OUT AS A WASH BUT WE ONCE AGAIN, THIS IS AN EXPENSE TO ISSUE THE DEBT SO WE HAVE TO INCREASE THE BUDGET TO GET US INTO NOVEMBER WHEN WE WILL DO THE LONG-TERM DEBT ISSUES. IN NOVEMBER.

>> OK. MAKES SENSE.

ANY QUESTIONS? ANY OBJECTIONS?

[ Brandt Pike (State Route 201)/Meijer Access Intersection Improvements - Engineering Design - Award Contract]

THERE IS A MAP SHOWING THE MODIFICATION PROPOSING. THE IMPROVEMENT INCLUDES REMOVING A PORTION OF THE GRASS MEDIAN ON BRANDT PIKE TO MAKE ROOM FAR LEFT TURN LANE, TURNING NORTH OUT OF THE GAS STATION AND THIS WILL ALLOW FOR TOUCH DEVELOPMENT PROPERTY IN THE AREA. ALSO A RIGHT TURN LANE WILL BE ADDED TO THE EXITS OF THAT ACCESS ROAD TO HELP VEHICLES TURNING SOUTH. THE PROJECT FOR THE DESIRE, RECEIVED THREE PROPOSALS FROM THREE QUALIFIED ENGINEER AND CON CONSULTANTS.

THEY WERE AT 81$81,250. WE HAD 82000 AND OTHER ONE AT $94,000. MANY PROJECTS WERE DESIGNED FOR THE CITY IN THE PAST AND JUST DID THE BRANDT PIKE AT CARRIAGE TRAIL TRAFFIC SIGNAL LAST YEAR. THE FUNDS WILL BE OUT OF THE

THE MAIN THING. >> YOU SAY WHEN YOU ARE LEAVING

MAIERS? >> COMING INTO MAIERS AND YOU ARE IN THAT LEFT TURN LANE, THAT LIGHT IS RIGHT ABOVE YOU.

FOR TALL GUYS LIKE ME I HAVE TO GET DOWN AND LOOK UNDERNEATH

IT. >> IF YOU ARE THE FIRST CAR IN THE TURN LANE GOING NORTH, TURNING LEFT IS ROUGH.

>> WE NEED TO MAKE THAT LIGHT FURTHER OUT.

[ Demolition Services Agreement - Timbercrest Property  ]

H DEMOLITION AGREEMENT SERVICES >> THANK YOU.

MAYOR, COUNCIL, IN FRONT OF YOU IS A DEMOLITION COST FOR THE COMMUNICATION AND DISPATCH CENTRE.

THE BUILDING THAT WILL HOST DISPATCH AND COMPLETE I.T. INFRASTRUCTURE FOR THE ENTIRE CITY.

INCLUDING R.I.T. STAFF. THIS DEMOLITION COST IS $570,000.49, INCLUDING SECURING THE BUILDING AND GETTING THE BUILDING READY FOR WHEN WE BRING THE NEXT PHASE OF CONSTRUCTION TO CITY COUNCIL. THIS WILL REMOVE ANY OF THE HAZARDOUS MATERIALS THAT ARE ON SITE, WHICH I DON'T THINK THERE IS TOO MANY OF THEM. MAYBE DIESEL IN ONE OF THE GENERATORS THAT NEED TO BE REMOVED.

THE FREON IS OUT. SO MOST OF THE MATERIALS INSIDE ARE COOLERS. LARGE COOLERS IN THERE THAT USED TO HOUSE THE COOL PRODUCTS AND FROZEN PRODUCTS FOR THE CAMPUS. THAT IS BIG EXPENSE.

NOT REMOVING ANY WALLS. WE WILL REMOVE THE HVAC EQUIPMENT BECAUSE THE CONSTRUCTION WILL BE UPDATED.

>> JUST SO THERE IS NO CONFUSION, NONE OF THIS MONEY IS DEMOLISHING ANYTHING THAT IS ON THE PROPERTY THAT THE DEVELOPER PURCHASED FROM Y.W.C. ALL OF THIS MONEY IS GOING TO THE BUILDING SPECIFICALLY THAT WE ARE PURCHASING FOR THE --

>> THAT IS CORRECT. JUST ANYTHING INSIDE AND

ROOFTOP UNITS ON THE BUILDING. >> OK.

JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE IF ANYONE THINKING THERE A DEVELOPMENT COMING PART OF THE MUCH IS BEING USED TO DELL MOLL LY ISH ON SOMEBODY

ELSE'S PROPERTY. >> MOST OF THE DEMOLISHING IS

GONE. >> ANY QUESTION?

>> ANITA? >> WILL WE SELL THE FREEZERS?

ARE THEY FUNCTIONAL? >> THEY ARE NOT FUNCTIONAL.

WE TRIED TO EVALUATE IF THERE WAS ANYTHING TO BE SOLD OR REUSED. THERE ARE SOME RACKS, SHELVING IN THERE. THAT WE WILL REUSE.

AT DIFFERENT LOCATION. WE ARE TALKING PUTTING SOME AT THE FINANCE TAX UTILITY BUILDING IN THERE.

AND I HAVE OFFERED IT FOR EXAMPLE PUBLIC WORKS IF THEY WANT TO GET IN THAN PULL SOME OF THAT EQUIPMENT OUT.

THAT IS THE ONLY THING THAT IS WORTH USING.

REUSING IN THAT SPACE. EVERYTHING ELSE HAS BEEN STRIPPED. ALL THE UNITS, ANYTHING ANYWHERE THERE WAS WIRE IS GONE.

UNFORTUNATELY. >> JUST THOUGHT IF IT WAS FUNGNAL, IF WE WOULD OFFER IT TO THE FOOD BANK OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT, THAT MIGHT BE ABLE TO USE IT.

>> EVEN THE CASING HAS BEEN DAMAGED ON THE OUTSIDE.

SO SOME OF THE DOORS ARE MISSING ON THE UNITS.

I DON'T KNOW WHERE THEY WENT. >> OK.

[00:30:04]

>> OK. ANY OBJECTIONS MOVING TO MONDAY? OK.

SEEING NONE NEXT UP IS ADJOURNMENT.

NOTHING ELSE ON THE
